| | Proto-Indo-European religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Proto-Indo-European religion would have been maintained by a class of priests or shamans. | | | Enough tantalizing hints of this ancestral religion can be detected in commonalities between languages and religious customs of Indo-European peoples to presuppose this ancestral religion did exist, though any details must remain conjectural. | | | This theoretical religion therefore would have been the ancestor of the majority of the polytheistic religions of pre-Christian Europe, of the Dharma Faiths in India, and of Zoroastrianism in Iran. |

| | Proto-Indo-European religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The various Indo-European daughter-cultures continued elements of the hypothesized PIE religion, syncretizing it with innovations and foreign elements, notably Ancient Near Eastern elements, the reforms of Zoroaster and Buddha, and the spread of Christianity and Islam. | | | The main functionaries of the hypothetical Proto-Indo-European religion would have been maintained by a class of priests or shamans. | | | This hypothetical religion would have been the ancestor of the majority of the religions of pre-Christian Europe, of the Dharmic religions in India, and of Zoroastrianism in Iran. |

| | odinism |
| | After having few if any practitioners for many centuries, this religion was revived as Ásatrú in the 19th century. | | | Religious siblings of Ásatrú include the Greco-Roman religion in southern Europe, and early Hinduism in the east. | | | Important source material include the prose and poetic Eddas written in Iceland during its golden age of saga literature, but other guidance can be found by studying the folklore, history, and antiquities of the Nordic peoples as well as the religions of their ethno-religious cousins (Druidism/Celtic mythology, Greco-Roman religion, and early Hinduism). |

| | Jean Haudry: General characteristics of Indo-European Religion |
| | A) Indo-european religion is polytheistic, consisting of a multiplicity of rites proper to various social groups and localities, and pagan, i.e. | | | D) Being a political religion by reason of its framework (that of the various ethnic units) and in view of the greater part of its pantheon, as we shall see, a religion of leaders and not of priests, it is without fanaticism. | | | C) It is a religion of works and not of faith, lived out rather than thought about. |

| | nyctophilia.net: Religion |

| | Is Indo-European Religion Possible? - ADF Neopagan Druidism |
| | The other alternative for an I-E religion worshipping the same set of gods is to simply include all of the gods in one huge pantheon. | | | Either the gods we are worshipping are literally the same deities known by different names to different cultures, or our religion encompasses all of the deities of all of the I-E cultures. | | | If religion is dependent on our cyclical obligations, or the rites we hold depend on what point we are in the wheel then if the different gods are making very different demands, our practices can hardly be considered the same religion. |

| | The first everybody, including the so-called experts like Kaul, has to understand is that the Norse religion (the Indo-European religion) is not dogmatic. | | | Kaul claims he is only capable of finding a very few similarities between the religion of the Viking Age and the religion of the Bronze Age, and he mentions the horses that pull the Sun and the Moon across the sky, but adds that they only played a minor role in the Viking Age religion. | | | By doing this they want to make everybody believe that the Viking Age religion, the belief in Óðinn and Valhalla etc., was just some "fix idea" that was born in a time when they suddenly saw the need for such a religion. |

| | THE RELIGIOUS ATTITUDES OF THE INDO |
| | Such a belief in life is characteristic of Indo-European religion. | | | My concern is to identify Indo-European religion at its most perfect and characteristic form, and in its richest and purest assertion — that completely spontaneous expression of the spirit in which primary Indo-European nature expresses itself with the greatest degree of purity. | | | He is the special God of the loosely-rooted expanding Viking Folk, and his composite personality stems from the late period of Teutonic paganism, and as such does not help to throw light on Indo-European religious attitudes. |
